<u><em>Complementary base pairing is important in DNA as it allows the base pairs to be arranged in the most energetically favourable way</em></u>
<u><em>It is essential in forming the helical structure of DNA. It is also important in replication as it allows semiconservative replication</em></u>
<u><em>A complementary base is either of the two nitrogen-containing sections of a nucleotide that bond together to connect strands of DNA or RNA</em></u>
<u><em>DNA and RNA are complex molecules that are central to genetics and both are made of things called nucleotides.</em></u>
<span>The genetic term used to describe an observable trait is phenotype. More specifically phenotype is the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.</span>
